Turtle Creek high-rise planned for Uptown development site

The apartment tower proposed for the vacant Uptown site would be about 24 floors.

Developer JLB Partners is moving ahead with plans for an apartment tower to be constructed overlooking Turtle Creek at edge of Uptown.

The Irving-based apartment developer bought the 2.3-acre site at Carlisle Street and Cedar Springs Road earlier this year.

The property – which is adjacent to the Katy Trail – was previously planned for a St. Regis Hotel. That was before the economy went “poof” and the vacant corner wound up in foreclosure.

JLB Partners has filed plans with the City of Dallas that show a 299-foot tall residential building in the middle of the property. Low-rise construction at the base of the tower would take up most of the site.

The developer is asking for some changes to the parking and landscape requirements in the current zoning for the land.
